 Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson have revealed a first look at their film 'THE ADVENTURES OF TINTIN: THE SECRET OF THE UNICORN' in the December issue of Empire magazine. Weta created a cover specially for the issue, featuring Tintin (played by Jamie Bell in the film) and - my favourite - his dog Snowy. Spielberg told Empire that: "The first part of the film, which is the most mysterious part, certainly owes much to not only film noir but the whole German Brechtian theatre — some of our night scenes and our action scenes are very contrasty. But at the same time the movie is a hell of an adventure." Peter Jackson said: "With live action you’re going to have actors pretending to be Captain Haddock and Tintin,” says Peter Jackson. “You’d be casting people to look like them. It’s not really going to feel like the Tintin Hergé drew. It’s going to be somewhat different. With CGI we can bring Hergé’s world to life, keep the stylised caricatured faces, keep everything looking like Hergé’s artwork, but make it photo-real." 'The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn' will release in New Zealand cinemas on December 26th, 2011... and the Unicorn in subject is a ship... not a friend for Snowy. Someone should make a rule that actual unicorns need to be in more films please.   |
